New Zealands Hamilton's frog downlisted by IUCN ! :

Yesterday’s IUCN Red List update also brought some good news: Hamilton’s Frog (Leiopelma hamiltoni) has been downlisted from Endangered to Vulnerable, thanks to a successful translocation. The only naturally occurring population is confined to a single rock tumble on Stephens Island, New Zealand. A group of frogs were translocated to the neighbouring Nukuwaiata Island and seem to have successfully established a second sub-population. The total population is now increasing and estimated at 300-800 individuals. Leiopelma hamiltoni (Hamilton's Frog, Stephens Island Frog)
